Consumer Description

The vehicle brakes are aggressively applied at random times when traveling on the freeway. This only appears to happen when the vehicles TACC (Traffic Aware Cruise Control) is enabled. Thankfully I have not been rear ended yet. My family's safety is in danger when TACC is enabled. Not only am I concerned we could be rear ended, but I am concerned someone could think I am "brake checking" them and then proceed to act violently (road rage). There is a particular stretch of highway where this happens 100% of the time that would allow me to reproduce the occurrence on demand for investigative purposes.
